For Polly's completists!

[[e-mail] · 5/10 · 12 January 2021]

A typical low-budgeted female-chop socky with the always sexy Polly Shangkuan Lingfung, who has to trust the bulky Kam Kong in order to find her lost sister and defeat Kurata as the local mobster. These kind of movies were made in two weeks or so, there's nothing you can expect aside tons of Kung-Fu, but if you like this actress, you'll be delighted. Camerawork and screenplay are not required, good stuntmen are: so the film delivers in this department thanks Blakie Ko, Gam Ming, Shan Mao and many others familiar Martial Masochists who loved to be kicked in the ass in just every single movie they made.

Polly Shang Kwan shines in this Taiwanese cheapie

[Leofwine_draca · 5/10 · 7 February 2017]

As an early Taiwanese kung fu film, A GIRL CALLED TIGRESS isn't too bad at all. Polly Shang Kwan headlines the cast and is at her physical prime in this one. She plays a dual role here as two sisters, one of whom has been kidnapped by persons unknown; the fighting Polly goes searching for her sister and teams up with a youthful Kam Kong before he was typecast as a villain in kung fu movies. Inevitably their hunt leads them up against a criminal gang busy buying up land and terrorising everybody around.

The real villain is, of course, Yasuaki Kurata, which is a given as soon as you see his name featured in the cast list. Kurata is on strong form too and the good news is that A GIRL CALLED TIGRESS has plenty of action to see it through. It needs to have, given that the plot is very straightforward and not really in-depth enough to sustain a feature film, which is why the running time on this one is so short.
